The mockingbird is a powerful symbol in the novel, obviously. Who are some "mockingbirds" who do no harm (and maybe even do good), yet are "killed" in some way? Use examples from the text to justify your opinion.

Boo Radley is a good example of a mockingbird. He was kind to the children in secret and eventually in the open. He was judged and false images were thought up of him.

The black people are the mockingbirds. They are always blamed for everything even when they do nothing wrong. The court case involving Tom Robinson is an example of this because all of the prove pointed out that atom was innocent yet the white jury voted that he was guilty.

One “mockingbird” that was killed was Tom. Tom was a good man who helped out woman everyday and was put on trail for it and then killed. Another one is Boo Radley who is judged by everyone even though he wasn’t done anything.

People who are mocking birds are Tom Robinson, Atticus and Boo Radley. Because they’re all victims in some way or another whether it be mentally or physically and they’ve never done anything to hurt anyone else

The obvious one is Boo Radley, helping out Jem and Scout yet having many things said about him that are bad. Tom Robinson for helping out Mayella and getting a guilty verdict for doing no harm.

Some mockingbirds in the novel are Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. Boo is judged harshly but he is actually a good person who has helped in many situations. Tom has done nothing wrong, but he is accused of rape and ends up dying because of the false accusations.

One mockingbird is Tom Robinson. He never did anything wrong and still ended up dead. Another one is Atticus. He was just trying to do his job and the whole racist community of Maycomb was after him.

One mockingbird is Tom Robinson because he was just a peaceful man but gets tried for being helpful. Another one is Mrs. Dubose who was a addicts and overcomes her addiction but Jem and Scout see her as a mean old lady.

One example of a mockingbird is Tom robinson. He hasn’t done any bad but is accused of doing bad anyways. He is killed but arises such a debate in the county that his case opened up a lifetime of hatred towards the African Americans.

Atticus is a mockingbird because he is assigned a job and does it and then is punished. “Mr. Bob Ewell stopped Atticus on the post office corner, spat in his face, and told him he’d get him if it took the rest of his life”(217). As you can see from this quote Atticus is being pursued for doing his job and he handles this encounter very maturely opposed to Bob Ewell.

The Africans Americans are the mockingbirds in this instant. No matter what they do weither it is good or bad they will always suffer from a consequence. Most whites always viewed them as guilty just because that’s how they were raised. And that is why Tom believed he had no chance to live.

One obvious “mockingbird” in the novel is Tom Robinson. He was clearly an innocent and scared man during the trial but was falsely charged and convicted of crimes he did not commit. Another “mockingbird” is Boo Radley. The kids earlier in the novel world like fun at him but he would always do kind acts for the kids. They would truly realize what Boo’s life was like towards the end of the book.

Atticus I believe was a mockingbird. He was a powerful symbol in the book because he stood up for the blacks and that was “different” in the book. Atticus was “killed” because of what people thought of him and said to him, while also treating him different.

Tom Robinson is a mockingbird in the book. He is framed for rape and he didn’t commit that crime. Atticus could also be a mockingbird because people criticize him for representing a black man when he is just doing his job.

Tom Robinson is a mockingbird because he did not rape or harm Mayela Ewell but is put in prison and killed for being accused of it. Atticus Finch is also a mockingbird because he was only trying to help an innocent man and was made fun of and had his spirit killed for helping a black man.

Boo Radley is a mockingbird because he is nice to the children and helps save them in the end. Tom Robinson is another one because he was put on trial for something he didn’t do and the jury says he was guilty and ends up killing himself because of it.

Tom Robinson and Boo Radley are two examples of mockingbirds. Tom never did anything wrong yet, he killed himself knowing he had no chance of being free. Boo Radley was harmless to everyone. Although many people thought he was a bad person.

Atticus is one of the major mockingbirds. He tries to prove that a young black man named Tom Robinson is not guilty. Atticus is shamed for trying to help a African American and has to face some guilt.

Tom Robinson is a good example. He did no harm yet was falsely accused of doing something and harm came to him. Boo Radley is another example. He was harmless and kept to himself while everyone on the outside talked bad on him and accused him of events he was not part of.

Tom Robinson is an example. All he was trying to do was help Maella, and got blamed for raping her when he most certainly did not. Nobody did.
